[Though apparently there is no legal connubium between Jāts and Rājputs, the two tribes are closely connected, and it has been suggested that both had their origin in invaders from Central Asia, the leaders becoming Rājputs, the lower orders Jāt peasants. The author, at the close of Vol. II., gives an inscription recording the marriage of a Jāt with a Yādava princess.] Footnote 2.7.113: “The superiority of the Chinese over the Turks caused the great Khan to turn his arms against the Nomadic Getae of Mawaru-l-nahr (Transoxiana), descended from the Yueh-chi, and bred on the Jihun or Oxus, whence they had extended themselves along the Indus and even Ganges, and are there yet found. These Getae had embraced the religion of Fo” (_Hist. Gén. des Huns_, tom. i. p. 375). Footnote 2.7.114: "To my foe, salutation! This foe how shall I describe? Of the race of _Jat Kathida_, whose ancestor, the warrior Takshak, formed the garland on the neck of Mahadeva." Though this is a figurative allusion to the snake necklace of the father of creation, yet it evidently pointed to the Jat’s descent from the Takshak. But enough has been said elsewhere of the snake race, the parent of the Scythic tribes, which the divine Milton seems to have taken from Diodorus’s account of the mother of the Scythac: “Woman to the waist, and fair; But ended foul in many a scaly fold!” _Paradise Lost_, Book ii. 650 f. Whether the _Jat Kathida_ is the Jat or Getae of Cathay (_da_ being the mark of the genitive case) we will leave to conjecture [?]. [Ney Elias (_History of the Moghuls of Central Asia_, 75) suggests that the theory of the connexion between Jāts and Getae was largely based on an error regarding the term _jatah_, ‘rascal,’ applied as a mark of reproach to the Moguls by the Chagatai.] Footnote 2.7.115: This place existed in the twelfth century as a capital; since an inscription of Kamarpal, prince of Anhilwara, declares that this monarch carried his conquests “even to Salpur.” There is Sialkot in Rennell’s geography, and Wilford mentions “Sangala, a famous city in ruins, sixty miles west by north of Lahore, situated in a forest, and said to be built by Puru.” Footnote 2.7.116: At this time (A.D. 449) the Jut brothers, Hengist and Horsa, led a colony from Jutland and founded the kingdom of Kent (_qu._ _Kantha_, ‘a coast,’ in Sanskrit, as in Gothic _Konta_?). The laws they there introduced, more especially the still prevailing one of gavelkind, where all the sons share equally, except the youngest who has a double portion, are purely Scythic, and brought by the original Goth from the Jaxartes. Alaric had finished his career, and Theodoric and Genseric (_ric_, ‘king,’ in Sanskrit [?]) were carrying their arms into Spain and Africa. [These speculations are valueless.] Footnote 2.7.117:
